		<title>Evaluation and Revision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find it very difficult to evaluate and revise my own writing and it is especially difficult to revise others writing.  I know that it is extremely important in writing, and this is a definite weakness of mine. It is imperative to good writing and one must be able to do it themselves because it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=60&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Presentations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can not believe the impact all the projects had on me the rest of the week.  I am glad I had computer trouble the night of the presentation.  I have had time to reflect and really to use some of the information I learned from other people.  As I was moving some chairs in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=37&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wordless picture books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have never used wordless picture books in my class because I did not understand them.  I had no idea the purpose or intent for classroom use.  Boy do I feel like an idiot.  This is why I love learning new things.  I would never have thought to give a wordless picture book to a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=34&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

April 2nd post 
The reoccurring theme I continue to see is instruction need to be on the level of the children.  Whether the subject is writing, reading, spelling or any other subject, the child can not learn what he is not developmentally ready to learn.  I liked the clear steps given for each block and the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=33&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Multigenre (take two)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think that I have said it before, but I want to say again, I think it is wonderful when people give step by step instructions on what is supposed to be done in a classroom.  After reading this, I feel that I could really help someone understand how a multigenre project should be implemented [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=32&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Multigenre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it is a great idea to put a twist on a normal boring research paper.  Doing a mulitgenre paper allows the students to really understand and appreciate what they are learning about and place themselves in a position to really think about the subject and what would be going on in their existence.

		<title>Persona Poem thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After reading all of the persona poems I noticed a few interesting things.  First is that the poems are intuitive and the author made me think of things in a different way.  Each of the poems I read was unique and had a different approach to the object that they were written about.  I think [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=17&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;I&#8221; Poems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 
I think that this is very exciting.  I have never heard of an “I” poem before and thought that this was a great idea to really get students to think.  What better way to get students interested in what they are reading or studying than by placing themselves right into the text.  That this is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=15&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Best Practices in Teaching Planning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  I feel so much better this week.  I did love the discussion in class last week and it helped me relax about the reading and about my classroom.  Not only did the discussion give me some relief, but then to read this weeks reading was just another pick-me-up.  Now I have a much better outlook.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=11&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Promoting Motivation for Writing

After reading chapter 10 and the article, I feel deflated as a teacher.  I hear a lot about what teachers do not do.  I do try to motivate my students and give them entertaining things to write about.  It is my responsibility to help prepare for a test that I do not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=muscarellijp.wordpress.com&blog=2540564&post=10&subd=muscarellijp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
